1 haven't any idea just how
widely The Farm Journal — pub-
lished in Philadelphia -- is cir-
culated in Canada, In my opin-
ion it is one of the very finest
magazines of its kind; and I hope
that its editors will forgive me
If I, once again, "pinch" an ar-
ticle which I think will interest
many of you.
It is titled "Their Orchards
Never Die" and is written by the
eininent Western horticulturist
John Ca Snyder.

Your apple trees may look like
they'll live forever. But don't be
fooled — they grow old and pass
the stage of peak profits far
sooner than you think.
Experienced growers in Wash-
ington, one of our really famous
apple states, find that trees ai'e
most profitable when they're 10
to 25 years old. After that they
need more and more care and
attention. And that costs money,
Hanging onto an old orchard
is one of the most expensive mis-
takes you can make. That's why
these Washington growers have
developed systems for keeping
their trees young and high -pro-
ducing.
Pull'em out and start over
again, once trees are ",over the
hill?" No, because that means a
five- to ten-year wait until young
trees some into bearing. And
who can afford idle land in times
like these?
The Washington growers simp-
ly replant young trees in among
the old-timers that are beginning
to fade. That's not just occasion-
al fill-ins, but new trees, set in
t h e center of every square
througout the whole block, 1t
means that you have just as many
young trees coming along as you
have old ones to take out,
As the young trees grow. you
gradually prune back the old
ones to let in plenty of sunlight.
About the time the young trees
come into full production, you
have the old ones cut back to

little more than stumps, and you
know that their time has come.

But what if the old trees are
planted by one spacing system,
and youewant to change to an-
othher spacing for your new
trees? That's what faced Del
and Walter Law of Douglas
County, Wash. They had a block
of 30 -year -ole] Jotlathans set 30'
x 30', and they wanted Delicious
and wider spacing.
Hero's how they did in the old
trees butted up to a young or-
chard set in 40 x. 40' squares, So
they merely extended the rows.
If a new tree came within six
feet of an old tree, out came the
old one, (1n non -irrigated or-
chards, the USDA recommends
that new trees be planted no
closer to old ones than 15 feet)
The Laws feared the worst
when they found that the new
planting took a third of the trees
out of their old stand, :Besides
that, they pruned many 'of the
remaining old trees, to give the
new ones sunlight.
b sure left a ragged -looking
orchard. But what surprised the
Law Brothers was that produc-
tion, even after that ,first-year
cut back, didn't drop a whit?
"And to prove what a little
extra sun will do, both size and
color of fruit showed a big Im-
provement," says Del Law.
0 5 i,
You should start young trees
when the old stock is about 25
years old, Washington growers
have found. Too many wait
until trees' are 35 to 40 years old,
then have poor success.
For the first year or two, lop
off just a few branches to let sun
in to the new tree. Then, in not
more than ten years, only a
stump and one or two central
branches of the old tree remain,
What then, pull out the old
stump? You don't have to — just
saw it ole flush with the ground
and leave it.
Here something else to remem-
ber: these renewal trees don't
take the place of "fillers." Any
tone that a tree in the original
planting dies, a young tree gate
in Its place right in the row,
n n e
But doesn't this system of re-
placements interfere with spray-
ing?
If you plant young trees in the
centers of the squares, be sure
that the sprayer rig doesn't run
over them, nor pack the soil by
passing too near. You'll have no
trouble at all, though, if you
plant between the old trees in the
row.
The kind of system you two
isn't nearly as important as hav-
ing a system and following it.
The outcome is the same, whether
you replant 25% of your trees
every ten years, or 10% every
four years.
His Job Vies
Guarding Rhinos
1 most certainly do not wish
to give the impression that the
game department's main interest
was -the elimination of maraud-
ing animals. Conservation was
also of prime importance, Some
eighty miles south of the Makin -
du district lay the Makindu area.
However, in part of this district
there was so much lava rock
that it was calculated tliet the
cost of uprooting bush among
the stones would be prohibitive.
This section was set aside as a
game r e s e r v e, particularly to
preserve the rhino.

It doesn't matter about colour or

is, "Has the love of God been

Neither will our good works or

become a Christian a spiritual
rebirth is necessary. We become

The love of God in us issues in
obedience to God. Our profes-
sion is sheer hypocrisy if we do
not obey the commandments of
God. If we love him we will keep
his commandments. Jesus show-

us. When he comes into aur
hearts we share his spirit. We
love our fellowment and will
